SUMMARY:Disinformation Systems During the Fight for Racial Justice
DESCRIPTION:“On Twitter and Facebook\, hundreds of posts are circulating saying that George Floyd is not actually dead. \nConspiracy theorists are baselessly arguing that George Soros\, the billionaire investor and Democratic donor\, is funding the spreading protests against police brutality. \nAnd conservative commentators are asserting with little evidence that antifa\, the far-left antifascism activist movement\, coordinated the riots and looting that sprang from the protests. \nUntruths\, conspiracy theories and other false information are running rampant online as the furor over Mr. Floyd\, an African-American man who was killed last week in police custody in Minneapolis\, has built. \n— The New York Times \nToday’s information environment is more chaotic and easier to manipulate than ever before\, which has been surfacing through disinformation around the current Black Lives Matter protests. Craig Silverman’s new book\, Verification Handbook: A definitive guide to verifying digital content for emergency coverage\, equips journalists with the knowledge to investigate social media accounts\, bots\, private messaging apps\, information operations\, deep fakes\, as well as other forms of disinformation and media manipulation. \nJoin us on Thursday\, June 4th at 3pm ET for a conversation on tools\, techniques and step-by-step guidelines for how to deal with user-generated content (UGC) during this turbulent time. Craig Silverman will be joined by Gabrielle Lim to lead a discussion and take your questions on the issues we’re currently facing and where we go from here. \nPlease RSVP below and we’ll be in touch with information on joining the livestream.”

SUMMARY:The COVID-19 pandemic: Big tech\, privatization\, surveillance\, AI and the rush for data | REDE4BlackLives
DESCRIPTION:“Naomi Klein and LLana James lay out the epic stakes of the growing struggles around data\, technology\, AI and COVID-19. Power\, race(ism)\, and money shape every development related to big tech: who owns it\, how and why it gets used. What do we need to consider during the pandemic if privacy\, human rights and universal access to health care are to remain intact and sustainable post pandemic. \nWhat are the risks and benefits of adding (more) race-based data to an AI\, data-driven economy\, awash in a sea of algorithmic racism? Your electronic medical and health record (EMR/EHR) are being mined\, without your informed consent. Who benefits? What are the potential short and long-term implications? What supports and protections are needed? What questions should we be asking about data brokers\, public-private partnerships\, surveillance\, privatization and the unregulated rush for data in the midst of the pandemic. Facilitated by Rinaldo Walcott. Followed by question and answer.”
